Hi
I just got my nexus 7, and after few hour of using it I have noticed a yellow spot or tint in my screen at the bottom left corner.
its visible on white backgrounds.
im gonna go to store tomorrow and see if I can get a new unit.
UPDATE: I uploaded a pic of it
does anyone have the same issue?
What store did you buy it from? I seen a lot of complaints about this from folks who purchased at retail stores. Mine was purchase from Google and still waiting on it.

Got it from Sam's club.
I only have the problem when I use the device for long time. I was charging it for couple hours then when I turned it on the screen was fine but after 15 minutes of reading the spots came back.

I got two from sams in IL. Didn't notice any problems on either of em. At least not yet
can you post a picture?
I also got mine from Sams last Friday (Mckinney, Texas) and its perfect with no issues or blemishes. Well, except for having to find a work around for Flash, but that goes without saying. Lol A little fiddling around fixed that though.
These are the pics
U can see the tint on the bottom left also on the whole left edge of the screen.

My s2 haves the same
I went back to Sam's club and they looked at the device and saw the yellow spots on the screen. It took me 15 minutes to walk out of the door with a new unit.
Let's hope this doesn't happen to anyone.

Weird. Did it get smashed or overheated?

Not at all!!
The tint appeared after about one hour of using it, and it gets worse when you use it more than that!!!

This was the first thing i noticed when using my Nexus 7 for a couple of hours. Two spots in two corners, very noticeble with white background.
However I remember hearing about other devices with LCD screens having the same problem initially (iphone 4 one of the devices if I remember) but would dissapear over time. So I thought I would give it some time.
The next day I couldn't see any of the spots and I've not seen it since. This was two weeks ago.

Mine seem to get worse the longer I use the device. I called support and they are issuing me an RMA for "yellowing", but the cart-link system was down and I was instructed to call again tomorrow.
Anybody knows what happens to your Nexus 7 after you reported lost/stolen? What does Google disables? How long does it take for Google to send you a new one?
Called Google and they say the 2 level department that handles losses usually takes 3-4 days for them to reply to you after you reply with "I CONSENT" which authorizes Google to disable your previous device. I am on day 4 so far nothing...
What exactly are they going to disable if I never received it?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
I don't think they can technically disable it. They probably just use the information for warranty purposes in case the tablet is ever RMA'd and so your not held responsible for any unauthorized play store purchases. Now I could be wrong but this is most likely the case.

Thanks for some of the info but still then why do they state on the email it will be disabled? Any other thoughts?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
I would think they remove any association with your Google account on the servers and might ban the device from being attached to your Google email/account.
It takes them a couple of days to contact the shipping company and do an investigation. They need to see if there was any signature, where the driver left the package, etc.
If they find your claim is on the up and up, I'm sure you will be sent a replacement shipment shortly.
Good luck.

Good question. Unless Google sends some sort of signal to the device once it connects to the internet that locks down the device, its hard to see how they could disable it.

Why did you create 2 threads after I moved your other one to the correct forum?

Has anyone heard a popping noise when unlocking the kindle. Its happened to me a couple times now. Wonder if its software or hardware issue. Thanks

I get the same thing from time to time. Doesn't seem to be an issue if the volume is turned down halfway or lower, but over about halfway and I get it.

I was having the same issue. Turned off Dolby Digital in sound settings and seems to have fixed it.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Of course now the volume level seems much lower. I hope they fix this issue soon since it doesn't sound nearly as good without Dolby. I sent amazon some feedback on the issue. Hopefully everyone else who has this issue will let amazon know.

I get this on occasion on my rooted fire HD. It was getting me worried that there was something wrong with mine.
I had the same problem in class today. My volume was turned all the way down, and I also had it in air plane mode. It didn't happen every time I unlocked the screen... maybe four times out of ten. Enough to be very annoying

I am also getting this and in fact returned my original device for that, screen bleed and one other thing that was specific to me. Unfortunately the 2nd one is doing it as well.
OK so the weirdest thing happened just now. I was charging my atrix HD when I went on it to check a phone number. Then it started opening apps and going on xda then other apps. I had no control over it. I couldn't even turn it off. I had to do the power and volume down thing to shut off. It was very creepy. I was just looking for a minute while the person did what they did. It was like when a person from dell controls your computer if something isn't working right. At first I thought it was being laggy but no! It kept going settings were changed and the person tried playing music on it! I turned it off before he could but the wierdest part is that I had turned of my wifi and set my phone on airplane mode so it can charge faster. No communication what so ever. Right now its off and I plan to keep it that way until someone can tell me what to do to protect myself. Also this could have been happening before i went to go check my phone. Which was like 15 minutes before I checked it. Please help

Maybe you installed an app that had a RAT or some other virus in it

That's what I'm thinking. A bad app. The likely hood of it being hacked are slim.

I'm guessing you handle it like you would handle a virus on a computer and just wipe everything and start over.

android is very hard to hack probably a virus delete data in cwm
Best thing to do is just wipe.
Easy way to do it is to go to Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
It was probably a bad app.
Click thanks if I helped!

Another thing to be aware of is I've noticed Motorola's screens (at least on the Atrix models) are kind of finnicky. If there's a little bit of moisture around they just start registering touches on their own sometimes.
With my battery life being... less than ideal.. I find myself plugging into all kinds of chargers along my travels. Some non moto chargers make my phone go nuts, exactly like what was described - apps opening etc. Have experienced this several times. Feel the other explanations are possible of course but highly unlikely.

There was a story on the news recently that someone's iPhone was hacked by trying to charge at a public charging station. I would be weary of these charging stations.

Airport WiFi connections are VERY insecure. Basically they monitor everything that goes through. Text messages, calls, anything. Maybe they also have access to control phones?

I agree with above post non oem chargers can make the phone act funny especially the cheap dollar store chargers get an oem cable the you will know that it will work for charging and data.

Has anyone else noticed that the XDA app sometimes loads a thread immediately and then other times it gets "stuck" where it can take a very long time to load? When it gets stuck, I can click back and then click the same thread again, which sometimes will load it quickly. I notice the exact same behavior in the Amazon app when clicking a product. It happens on both WiFi and LTE and has happened with every version of android so far on the N6.
I use XDA and Amazon all the time so this is a particularly frustrating issue for me.
UPDATE: here is a video demonstrating the problem with the Amazon app:

Which XDA app? Theres like a million of them. One of the tapatalk versions?
I'm using the XDA premium app.
I'm not convinced that it's an issue specific to the app though because I didn't notice this on my Nexus 4 and the exact same issue happens in the Amazon app.

XDA premium is based on Tapatalk and Tapatalk has problems on this forum. Its specific to this forum too, because taptalk works fine on other forums I use. I think the API on XDA for Tapatalk is outdated and since XDA are working on their own new XDA app (XDA One), they're probably not going to be too bothered to fix it.
Not sure about Amazon
Tapatalk has gone into the toilet over the years at this point I would honestly pay to go back to an old version. The iOS version is such a monstrosity and just so horrible its at the point of being unusable. if the thread I want actually comes up and displays I feel like I've won something.

Thanks for the replies. Seems like this might be something a new XDA app could fix.
Here is a quick video I made showing the Amazon issue:
Amazon App getting stuck on Nexus 6: https://youtu.be/bjDayQJVV3g
The first 2 products open fast and then the third gets stuck. I click back and re try 5 times and on the last try, it opens fast like the first 2 did. Anyone else have this issue with Amazon?
Yes you are correct ..Those are the worse two apps to get "stuck".. Only other app is WWE SUPERCARD..Every other app is fine..I do believe it is app issues not phone related.
